Gpat2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity and glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidic acid biosynthetic process; piRNA processing; and triglyceride biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within glycerol-3-phosphate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Orthologous to human GPAT2 (glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Gpat2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
